An ‘Exquisite Corpse’ Comes to Life at Beverley’s

On Nov. 9, the artists, writers, and friends of artist residency Denniston Hill and winery Antica Terra gathered at the Lower East Side artist’s bar and exhibition space Beverley’s for an evening of wine and collective creation. The occasion was a celebration of Exquisite Corpse, a collaborative wine created by Antica Terra—named for the Surrealist pastime of collaborative artistic creation. The addition of Exquisite Corpse rounds out Antica Terra’s Museum in a Box collector’s set, in which original artworks by Denniston Hill co-founders Julie Mehretu, Paul Pfeiffer, and Jessica Rankin are joined by custom cuvées created with Antica Terra’s Maggie Harrison. The night, which featured an introduction to Exquisite Corpse and a special toast to the Museum in a Box set, followed the first public tasting at the 2025 Performa gala, which honored Mehretu. Notables in attendance included Megan Steinman, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Anne Ishii, Koray Duman, Olivier Berggruen, Sunanda Ghosh, Victoria Rodgers, and more.
